It's another hot and humid day in the UAE

The Abu Dhabi Corniche on a clear winter morning is definitely a refreshing way to start the day. I completely understood the satisfied smiles of the passing joggers – they are the looks of people who have this whole expat thing down. They understand the principle that expat life in general can only provide you with as much as you are willing to give. Fatima Al Mazouqi / The National

Sunday’s forecast calls for - you guessed it - hot to very hot conditions, according to the National Center of Meteorology and Seismology.

Temperature highs will continue to flirt with the 50 C degree mark, while humidity along the coast will peak at a muggy 85 percent.

The hottest temperatures will be felt in the country’s interior, where forecast highs will reach between 44 and 49 C. Along the coast, the mercury will rise to between 41 and 46 C, while the mountain temperatures will be considerably lower, with highs between 34 to 39 C.

Conditions may be ripe for clouds, and maybe even a little rain, over some eastern and southern parts of the country. While the wind will be light to moderate -- blowing between about 15 and 30 km/h, just enough to kick up some dust and sand and stir up the sea.
